There are few things that are predictable in this world. One of them is that Dave Portnoy will remain a diehard fan of the New England Patriots until the end of his days here. To presume any differently would be folly. Despite their slipping to their worst record in a season by this point, Portnoy has defended them.

At times, Dave Portnoy’s opinions shock the rest of the world. For instance, Portnoy saw the second coming of Tom Brady in the relatively inconsistent Mac Jones. Even so, he held fast to that position and did not relent, even when the evidence mounted under his nose. He claimed the Patriots could still win the Super Bowl. Regardless, Portnoy teased a possible change in allegiance, jocularly.

Would Dave Portnoy really change his allegiance to the Patriots?

Dave Portnoy implied he looked good in the cowboy hat. Despite that, though some of Portnoy’s views boggle the mind, he is unlikely to become a fan of the Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys faced the Patriots already this season, beating them 38-3, their ninth win against that opposition. That game began a sequence of eight quarters in which Bill Belichick’s side did not register anything on the scoreboard. While still a staunch Patriots supporter, Portnoy named another side as his favorite to clinch the Super Bowl.

Dave Portnoy believed for the longest time the Patriots could find something to take them to the post-season playoffs and beyond. They are presently 2-7 for the season. Given that, Portnoy named the Cincinnati Bengals as his favorites to win this edition of the Super Bowl. They are 5-3 for the season and rooted to the foot of the table in AFC North, but have won four on the bounce.
